Whittaker Zadok Garrison

Body
Dec. 8, 2023 - April 4, 2024 Whittaker Zadok Garrison was born in Advent, the season of Christ’s coming. What joy he brought to our family, a beautiful blessing to his mother and father, William and Hannah Garrison. His blue eyes and smile have gone away from us for a little while as this world races towards its own end. He left us just after Easter. The cries of the mourning dove wake us each day and now remind us of a mother’s heartfelt groaning. Darling one, Sweetheart, is that you crying? We are here.
